Numerous Invitations Sent Out
for an Extra Feed To

"Hey, there. !"

The Goat house man beckoned to
the reporter, who stood on the oppo.
site side of the railroad tracks at the
uEion depot, and he recognized the
call.
"Come over here Il want to tell you
something" said the landlord.
The man ofletters started across the
tracks in front of switch engine, and
would now have been occupying a
cold and early grave had not Mont
Carnes and Alex Owen taken him
by the collar and dragged him out of

"All the big guns in town."
"Thank you" began Alex, siding
up to the old man; "Fll be there if
I'm able to borrow a clean"
"Better wait till you're asked"
snapped Mont.

man as you are?'
'Gents, gents, for pity sake, less
don't have no KILN. You'll both be
bid, an III expect you early, to help
me receive the guests"
"All right, then, that settles it,"
said Mont" and that's the only thing
that kept me from wiping up this plat
form with him.
Peace was then restored, and the
form of the invitation was brought
forward again.
"Have you prepared a sort of out
line of what you want?" asked the re-
porter, turning to the landlord.
Eyes; me and the hired girl kinder
on the thing last night" he
replied, "when the big dinner was

beauty. Improper digestion of food neces-
sarily produced bad blood, resulting in a
feeling of tullness in the stomach, acidity
heartburn, sick headache, and other dys-
peptic symptoms. A closely confined life
causes indigestion, constipation, bilious

-Four years ago l contracted hard cold
that settled on my lungs. I had a severe
chill, followed by high fever, raging head
ache, pain on my left side over the lung.
and every time fit of coughing came on.
which was every few minutes, it was ter
rible to bear the pain. thought it meant
an attack of pneumonia, as went through
a two-month siege of that disease, and it
came on just the same way. As it was
night thought | would wait until morn
ing before sending for a doctor. Fortu-
nately, a half-box of Allcock's Porous
Plasters was found in the possession of a
friend, who boarded with us. One of these
was put on my throat; two on my chest,
and one on my back over the left shoulder
blade. | then had hot foot bath. After
again getting into bed, it seemed but few
minutes when all my symptoms were re-
lieved the skin became quickly moist
coughed only at intervals, ara then with
very little effort. and in about an hour
was in a sound sleep, from which did not
awake until morning. l resumed business
in two days. Ii. T. FLETCHER.
